    Paid $90 dollars just to get time soaked into spending more money on cars. Painful and heart breaking. I spent hundreds of hours in Sport.

It is a highly predatory practice, especially if you include the fact that players can no longer sell their used cars as they were able to previously do in older Gran Turismo titles for faster credits. Avoid this game at all costs and pick a racing simularor that does not pray on its players nearly as much. Expand

    I feel like I’ve been rip off just like with EA Battlefield 2042 crappy game. No it’s STILL NOT a triple AAA game it should have been. Polyphony Digital is like 343 Industries they can’t make AAA games. For the Polyphony Hypocrisy micro transactions scamming methods I put a Big Zero rating.

To resort to this sort of behaviour of not letting initial reviewers play the game that have the microtransactions should not be allowed legally.

    With the path this game is on it is not worth playing in the least bit. Forza (series) has won me over bar none, come to racing games.

Single player must be online for some reason and server maintenance shutting the server down for more than a day only to come up with a terrible patch ruined the game. There seems to be some very short sighted upper management decisions that cut rewards for racing in half making it a massive grind to obtain credits and buy cars. This was a full price AAA game, I had no intention of paying more real money to buy cars to race. Give me a free game if you want to attempt this monetization model. The greed is glaring and the minimal spike they’re going to see in micro transactions will be lost ten fold when they try to release another game after this. My personal viewpoint is that they got my money for the game, they won’t get a dime for the micro’s and I won’t be buying future releases from polyphony if this isn’t fixed. I have no interest in playing at all in the games current state. Expand

    Comparing this game to GT Sport is embarrassing. Single player races reward 400k+ credits in GT Sport. In gt7? Good luck getting even 1/4 of that for any race....

    The cars cost way more. Paint and wheels cost credits instead of mileage points. And buying a car in GTS, if you wanted to use actual money, was sub $3. If you want to buy it in gt7? Sometimes hundreds of dollars. Or more... This is ridiculous.

    Любой сбой интернета и у вас нету игры и не важно карьера или что-то другое.
    А когда Сони там профилактику делает,так вообще плевать на всех, сидите и лапу .... ну короче НЕ ПОКУПАЙТЕ!

    Always online made game unplayable for 30 hours. Predatory microtransactions which were not provided to reviewers. Latest update has forced users to buy microtransactions unless you want to play for hundred of hours to get dream cars.

    Can't sell cars for ingame credit either. Horrible roulette system as well, i seem to always get the lowest tier reward.

A lot of the rare and desirable cars can cost between 10-18 million credits. Playing optimally the fastest you can acquire credits is around 800k per hour so it can take you 20+ hours of running the exact same 3 lap race over and over again in order to buy 1 car. Keep in mind you need to also buy credits to tune, upgrade, buy wheels and even paint colors for your cars.

    You choices to have fun in this game is to either grind hundreds of hours like you are playing World of Warcraft or spend hundreds of real life dollars on micro transactions to buy credits.

    This game is also "always online". You can't even play the single player if you don't have an internet connection or Gran Turismo's servers go down. They were recently down for over 30 hours and you simply couldn't play the game. I also had my internet go down briefly in the middle of a 30 lap race and it instantly kicked me out of the game not saving my progress.

    I would highly recommend you look somewhere else if you want a racing game. I had thousands of hours in previous Gran Turismo games but I will never buy another one after this. Extremely disappointing.

    I specifically made an account to voice my complaints here, along with all the other gamers. Let me start by apologising to most of the ladies and gentlemen at Polyphony Digital that have invested so much into what started as a true work of art, only to be let down by their peers and higher-ups. The parts of this game that do work, are phenomenal and blow the competition out of the water.I specifically made an account to voice my complaints here, along with all the other gamers. Let me start by apologising to most of the ladies and gentlemen at Polyphony Digital that have invested so much into what started as a true work of art, only to be let down by their peers and higher-ups. The parts of this game that do work, are phenomenal and blow the competition out of the water. Sadly though, after going through the (very short!) Cafe campaign, there is a handful of missions to do and that’s it - the game comes to a complete halt. I was entirely through the campaign in just 4 days. They clearly cut content to drip-feed us later, not only was this proven but it also feels like that to the player. The graphical downgrades are a big letdown, especially since it didn’t improve performance at all (interestingly, performance actually seems to have worsened, on a PS5 mind you!).

    Let’s just adress the elephant in the room here; payout nerfs and extreme push towards mtx in this game have stooped to a lower level than I’ve ever come across before, and we’ve had quite a few disastrous game launches in recent years! The way GT7 is setup is an utter disgrace, and there will be a very long path to win back the faith of your loyal players. The ones responsible (I’m not sure who ultimately called these shots) should be absolutely ashamed. The fact there has been radio silence for so long on the matter is making things far worse still. Sony, PD, whoever is reading: this will NOT blow over - we will NOT back down. You will NOT get away with this and will absolutely pay for these mistakes dearly.

    Im going to put aside the microtransactions and the 1.07 patch, its been done to death and they are major issues of the game, but im most critical of how the game structure.

    1. Why is the used cars lot clogged up with cars we will be rewarded with in the cafe menu, and cars you can buy new for a measly discount? It makes no sense, just give us the cars we cant buy new or will be rewarded with! Most stupid of all, the used car lot loads up with the cars that you are about to be rewarded from the next cafe menu challenge, why!? Who is going to buy them when they are about to be rewarded, it seems insane someone at Polyphony ticked this off!!!!

    2. Im a causal player, maybe 2 hours per day, but already im finished with the cafe menu after 2 weeks, and to my surprise the last race - World GT Series Championship - only required a National License A, and there are NO races after this that require International B or A or Super licenses, and no single GR.2 or GR.1 races or championships. Seriously? Where is this content? Where are the endurance races? The structure of the races just makes no sense.

    3. The economy overall makes no sense. Who knew real world inflation would be part of a virtual sim game! After all the Cafe menu, i had just enough to buy a single GR 1, 3 and 4, and a handful other cheaper cars. Upgrading parts economy is alot more expensive. NOS is $100k???? For a game that emphasises the collection factor, it makes it near on impossible to build your collection with such a stingy economy.

    4. Why cant we sell cars? If you want real world scenarios of outrageous prices for unicorn cars, then in the real world you can sell cars!!!!!! Again for the collection, i have a couple of duplicates because i bought a car before i knew i would get it as a reward in the cafe menu, and it **** me i have duplicates i cant sell.

    5. Roulette. Cars and money, makes sense. The invitations? useless as they are for hyper expensive cars that even if you didnt spend 1 single cent from the entire cafe menu, you still couldnt afford the invite cars. Car parts? Absolutely useless! I dont want a single part that only works for 1 particular car, give me cars or credits so i can choose what parts i want to install on the cars i want.

    6. AI needs work. the PP ratings are not reflective of the challenge of the AI. Im running on the hard difficulty, and if im within 20 PP of the "reccommended PP" for any given race, i destroy the AI and win by 15sec. I need to be 40-70PP less than reccommended to make it a challenge. AI pace needs to be adjusted according to the PP you have. Needs more standing start races with competitive AI, not an overtaking parade of slow AI. And bring some form of qualifying into this so we know what the AI competition is like against our car.

    Ok, ill admit, given the arrogance of the statement by Polyphony after the criticism of microtransactions and the 32 hour maintenance period, ill assume a pretty awesome updates are coming very very soon, but man talk about leaving us with not much else to do in the mean time.

    This games needs some serious tweaks.

Was this game supposed to be a GT sport update for PS5 to release in 2017 instead of a numerical generation increase further indicating a completely new game has be made from scratch?

    Gran Turismo 7 brings to the tracks every single thing fans always wanted: the GT Mode everyone loves, plenty of customization options, car loads, classic scenarios and one of the best DualSense and 3D Audio experiences the PS5 has to offer.

    Gran Turismo 7 is a love letter to motorsport history and an impeccable technical showcase. The franchise's traditional formula gets good improvements, but it's still extremely true to its roots. One of the best racing series ever shines spectacularly on the PS5.
